At the edge of the walls, outside the city gate, the familiar people lined up the cakedri.

When I see you coming, I salute you with my kakato in order.

Getting closer.

Is there a strong sense of royal reverence, or even some of them watching Carol and whimpering in tears?

Come to think of it, I can't help but be impressed.

"Carol, speak to him."

When I said that, Carol nodded.

When I finally approached him, I stopped Kakedri's leg in front of him.

"Everyone! I'm sorry I bothered you! Thank you for defending our absence!

In a carol-like, well-toothed voice, the soldiers gave everyone a moving, trembling face.

After all, this role can only be played by Carol.

I wouldn't be able to impress you like this if you weren't a person who lived with Hua at birth.

"So you guys did a really good job. Lyao, give him a break."

As I said, Lyao nodded.

"All hands, rest!

When I got off the cakedri, Lyao walked in.

"First, let me thank you. You've come back a lot."

I was asked to shake my hand, so I shook it back.

A powerful handshake between men.

"Oh. Totally, it was a disaster"

"If you were alive, fine. I wish I was dead, but I didn't taste like a mess."

He looks really horny.

Even when I heard the report from Myalo, until I actually saw it in its eyes, I guess I didn't entirely believe it.

I understand that concern.

If I were in the opposite position, I wouldn't have felt the same way.

"Right...... I'm sorry, but we'll talk later. I've taken the trouble."

"Oh. I'm hearing it from Myalo"

"Hey, let's talk over there. Carol and Myalo will come too."

Where the soldiers have ears, they can't talk blah blah.

The four of us walked a little further away.

"A man like Wang Sword explained whether he was wearing a nightgown. How much do you hear?"

I said as I looked at Lyao.

Myalo knows a lot of information, so it makes no sense to ask.

"Somehow, you're supposed to take the young princess here and the young men of the knight with you three hundred and a thousand people. And you think you'll get a medal when you get back? That much information."

"Right. There are about fifty gold medals on the medal. It's not just honor."

It's appropriate that I said fifty, but well I'd settle around there.

About five million yen.

By the way, the gold coin I gave Her Majesty the Queen when I developed the seed pox was thirty.

"That's all. That's pretty fancy."

It's a luxury trip.

"If I don't get it, it'll be a waste of money."

Cash is precious, so most knights will rejoice if they get fifty gold coins.

"... n, what, are you going to ask me if I want to"

"That's the kind of promise that brought them here. I don't want to live and die."

And to the people who threw the flame bottle, I said, "I could die, but you want to do it?" I heard.

I want to give you that option.

"I don't mind if Lord Yuri says so. I think I care too much."

"Really?

"The knight would go out in battle without saying no or responding, if the battle began. Lord Yuri cares a lot, but that's what I do from the beginning."

Hmmm......

Sure, that's true.

The knights, instead, have gained their position and rights as privileged classes.

"However, this squad was not sent out by the general. It seems to me like it would be better to give them the option to say no than to turn me down."

The truth is, it doesn't mean complete free will, but it's going to take a form that you don't think is due to harmonic pressure or anything.

Even if it's just pre-construction, I still feel different than there's no room for that kind of choice.

"I know that."

"Well, tell that to the Cakedri squad. Not in a conclusive way."

"Okay."

"Well... let's move on to work"

"In the meantime, I'll briefly describe the operation I'm thinking of."

And I said it on the front porch.

"Preparation for the wastage of transporting food out of the castle is expected to be over by noon, and aligning the evacuees out of the city by after noon will be a unified goal. Lyao didn't look inside the walls. He always has a bag full of luggage and a tan. They have to be left behind, except for valuables. If it fits a blunt leg with a big bag, it won't be easy to talk about."

Lyao bent his mouth to the letter to.

This is a difficult job. I guess you think.

"First, we will incorporate under command three hundred soldiers who will now come outside the castle. Three hundred... Was there twenty-four bird squads now?

"Yes."

Myalo answered.

Per person...... a little over twelve.

Twelve are tight.

"Let's pull some more from the Eagle Squad, too. You said the eagle was getting worse. Tell the castle man to trade for a horse or a bird."

We'll have to pay for the eagle later, but this will be good if we get it out of the budget.

If you look from the castle, that exchange should be appreciated because we no longer have a manoeuvre.

Contact, reconnaissance, special attack, and escape… there are many uses for everything.

"So, each of us will be in charge of about ten, so that we can direct. For convenience, let's call this platoon."

Three hundred people over there, unlike this one, were not particularly selected.

Especially if it's this one person selected, we'll be able to put together about ten.

"Especially if he's capable, you can put him in charge a little more. As much as possible, combine it so that the age group fits. From what I've seen, some of them are about 19 years old. Incorporating it under the sixteen over here will cause trouble."

Lyao nodded.

"When that's over, use those guys and lay a prosecutor at the city gate. Let them throw their bags away and start walking by the end of the day"

Lyao raised his hand.

"That's good. Speak."

"I say make him throw away his stuff, but it's probably pretty difficult. I think you'll resist, but you're gonna let him throw it away while he's out there threatening you?

"I was thinking about it. So I cook it out of the castle first"

When I said that, Lyao looked surprised.

"Right in front of them dumping their bags, I'm gonna make you a mess. If you use cookouts as a kitchen, and you know you're never going to starve, you're not going to be able to resist throwing your stuff away, are you? I'd rather have dinner to make you walk, or two birds a stone."

"... well, yeah"

He looks like he's impressed.

"Okay. So do you have any questions or suggestions?

I look over the three of them, but they don't seem to have any questions.

"Then Myalo follows Lyao and helps him combine. Me and Carol will go back to the main unit and ask if anyone can get off the eagle."
